GE IC2956A200A INTL BK-2NO CKTS

The GE IC2956A200A is an interlock block with 2 Normally Open (NO) circuits. This auxiliary device is designed for use with contactors and relays, providing additional switching contacts for control circuit applications.

Technical Breakdown 🧠

An interlock block, also known as an auxiliary contact block, is a modular attachment that snaps onto a main contactor or relay. The IC2956A200A is designed to provide 2 Normally Open (NO) contacts, meaning these contacts are open when the main contactor’s coil is de-energized and close when the coil is energized.

This module is mechanically linked to the main device’s armature, so its contacts open and close simultaneously with the main power contacts. It’s used in control circuits to provide feedback, create logic conditions, and ensure safe operation.

Applications 🏭

The IC2956A200A is a fundamental component in industrial control panels for:

• Interlocking: Creating safety circuits where one device’s status must be known before another can operate.
• Feedback: Sending a signal to a PLC or a supervisory control system to confirm the status of a contactor.
• Signal Multiplication: Allowing a single command to the main contactor to trigger multiple events in the control circuit.
•
